...﻿Eco Terrorism
Eco-terrorism is the term used to describe the violence in the interests of environmentalists. There have been cases when environmentalists have inflicted damage to the industrial factories, due to the fact that, they cause pollution and other environmental problems.
According to Manning (2012), “Eco-terrorism can be defined as the act of violence or sabotage against person and property commits and support animal right activist.” There are some organizations that participate in it, such as, Earth Liberation Front (ELF) and Animal Liberation Front (ALF). These organizations managed to burn down a ski resort and blow up a laboratory among other things. On the other hand, some groups such as the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society are labeled as eco-terrorists although they do not commit such acts of violence against humans- they do not attempt to injure or kill people, but only provoke people through property. This has led to a debate that touches on whether or not to classify these actions as "terrorist" or not.
The FBI has given the environmentalists a definition ‘the use or threatened use of violence of a criminal nature against innocent victims or property by an environmentally-oriented, sub national group for environmental-political reasons, or aimed at an audience beyond the target, often of a symbolic nature.’ John Lewis, a top FBI official says, ‘The number one...

POL 3162 A
On Monday October 20th, 1998 the autonomous group Earth Liberation Front openly admitted to burning down a Vail INC ski resort in the ski-town, Vail Colorado. The group created roughly $12 million dollars in damages in the name of the Lynx population that dwells in the surrounding areas of the Vail Ski resort. In an message that was sent to KCFR FM Colorado Public Radio in Denver, the ELF stated:
“On behalf of the lynx, five buildings and four ski lifts at Vail were reduced to ashes on the night of Sunday, October 18th. Vail, Inc. is already the largest ski operation in North America and now wants to expand even further. The 12 miles of roads and 885 acres of clearcuts will ruin the last, best lynx habitat in the state. Putting profits ahead of Colorado's wildlife will not be tolerated. This action is just a warning. We will be back if this greedy corporation continues to trespass into wild and unroaded areas. For your safety and convenience, we strongly advise skiers to choose other destinations until Vail cancels its inexcusable plans for expansion.1"
This attack was one of the largest and most expensive domestic-terrorist attacks against the United States in United States history-before 9/11. The Vail Colorado ski-resort burring...

...Overview
When it comes to narrative analysis, there are various theories available to the researcher. Here follows a brief summary of some of the most prominent theorist’s theories of this field.
Umberto Eco’s concepts
 Binary oppositions – According to Eco there are fourteen constant binary groups as depicted by Wigston (2009a:292). The first four groups relate to two sets of two opposing characters in the narrative. The other ten groups are related to the different values depicted by the aforementioned characters.
 Play situations – In accordance with Eco’s theory, there are nine different functions. Depending on the narrative in question, these functions do not need to follow each other chronologically, and can also be combined as well as repeated (Wigston 2009b:176), but each must be present.
 Manichean ideology – Based on a Persian religious philosophy that proposes a balance exists between good and evil. Eco used this term to describe the stereotypical differences between the two characters set out in the binary oppositions. (Wigston 2009a:293)
4.3.3 Limitations and values of Umberto Eco’s theory of narrative analysis
As mentioned before the overview of the theorist involved in narrative analysis, Eco originally formulated his theory to determine why the James Bond novels were so popular. In other words, the narrative in question was in printed form. However, modern media has many additional...

The Connection between Abortion and Mental Health
Do abortions really have short and long term side effects on woman? This is the question many people wonder about, but a lot of people do not know the answer. It is said that by the age of 45, two out of every five woman have had an abortion procedure. In the United States, there has been 1,300,00 abortions annually performed. Many people do not realize the side effects having an abortion can cause. Many time young teenage girls are pressured by their boyfriends or parents to have one, without truly understanding the emotional baggage that can haunt you afterwards. In some cases, it may be the appropriate thing to do, but I do believe everyone should at least research it more to find out if it really is the right decision for them.
The abortion procedure can cause short-term side effects as well as long-term side effects. Some of the short- term side effects are frequent uterine pain, excessive uterine bleeding, pelvic infection, ruptured ectopic pregnancy, incomplete abortion, vomiting, and in some extreme cases, death. These side effects can be very dangerous and even fatal, which is why they need to be taken seriously and woman but research and think through their options thoroughly as well.
As well as short-term side effects, there are also long-term side effects linked to abortions....

...Introduction
Budgeting is indeed a key component in managing short and long term planning. To define a broad objective such as wealth maximization is clearly not sufficient to achieve the goal. It is very important for an entity to get into more details over how to work towards the objective. Businesses typically do this by crafting a long-term plan and short-term plan which I will be explaining in details.
Budgeting
Before I proceed, it is very important for us to understand what is budget and how it works. A budget is a formal written summary (or statement of management’s plan for a specified future time period, expressed in financial terms. A budget becomes an important basis for controlling operations and evaluating performance. Thus, it promotes efficiency and serves as a deterrent to waste and inefficiency (Carlon, et al., 2009, p. 882)

Just like your own money, you have to stay in control of the money you borrow from others. Borrowing money doesn’t have to be a bad thing. It can help. Borrowing just has to be done wisely, managed well, and held to a limit you can afford.
Short-term financing deals with the demand for and supply of short-term funds which may either be secured or unsecured. Short term finance in business usually refers to the additional money a business requires for doing its business for short terms, which is usually a maximum period of one year.
Short term investments and financial plans usually involve less uncertainty
than long-term investments and financial plans because, generally speaking, market trends are more easily predictable for one year than for any longer period. Likewise, short-term financial plans are more easily amendable as a result of the short time frame. Short-term financial plans usually involve investing in short-term securities, such as Tbills or
commercial paper.

...within the Nestle: They focused to work on the above changes and the result is in front of all of us
This is what CEO at the Company did. He opted for the first order changes that were continuous so that the organization can thrive in the aggressive market. Let us see what the changes which took place in the Company were: Personnel Change whereby the executive board was an outcome of it. This executive board was the result of overhauling the current executives (Robbins, 1996).Incremental Change whereby they focused on changes step by step. Changing these small steps lead to the higher changes with the Company. Planned Change whereby the Company never opted for anything unplanned within the organization. The focus was always long term rather than short term. The CEO never believed in dramatic changes. Continuous Change: Nestle would of course stop existing if the changes stopped. To adjust to existing scenarios, continuous change was necessary. The reinforcement &amp; sustenance both required continuous change. Transactional Change was again a part of Nestle as the fundamental nature of Nestle was always the same. Proactive Change whereby the alterations were always a part of Nestle in its practices. Being slow &amp; steady was never a problem at Nestle. But when organization comes at a point where there is no option but to change ; the change becomes inevitable. These changes were the result of the need to grow by Nestle. It is very...
